“I learned about Fred Hutch and its innovative research years ago from a friend's struggle with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) who was part of a clinical trial. Like many others in our community, my family was touched by cancer in many ways with multiple forms of diagnosis and loss. I sought out Innovators Network because I wanted to be part of the solution and support the brilliant minds that not only cultivate innovation but also provide opportunities for survival through clinical trials. It has been humbling to watch the support provided by IN to move what was once an idea from the bench in a scientist's lab, to a patient's bedside.”

Every contribution, no matter how small, supports vital research that can save lives. Let’s unite in the fight against cancer—together, we can make a difference. I AM IN FOR THE HUTCH! YOU SHOULD BE TOO!”
